Not only that, Decentraland describes the program and participants at MVFW and what users will be able to do, using a quote from David Cash, guest curator of the panel talk:
“We’ve sought to present fashion in every form possible, from runway shows to retail experiences, fashion presented as art, film, photography, and even fashion presented in ways that extend beyond the confines of reality—as, in the metaverse, anything is possible”.
Participants of the Metaverse Fashion Week
In its announcement and a roundup of tweets, Decentraland introduces some of the participants of Metaverse Fashion Week. Among the many, the area of interest is certainly the Luxury Fashion District, where it is located in the current Fashion District owned by the Metaverse Group.

Heineken’s Silver Beer
Recently, Decentraland also featured a new brand that is well known, though not for fashion, namely Heineken that, for the occasion, launched its Silver Beer in the metaverse.
It is a beer with no calories, no hidden ingredients and… no beer.
The new Silver Beer was presented at an event in Decentraland by the avatar of Heineken’s global head, Bram Wastenbrink. The beer was made not with wheat, but with pixels, code, and nights of tireless programming by developers.
